As the November 8 US presidential election approaches, people around the world are sitting on the edge of their seats as America goes to polls – with a very controversial choice between Republican Donald Trump and Democrat Hillary Clinton.

At the third presidential debate, Clinton and Trump’s ugly and bitter battle for the White House barrelled towards the end, with the candidates taking the debate stage Wednesday night for one final primetime showdown. And even though people hoped for some respite from all the name-calling, the show ended with Trump slamming Clinton as “such a nasty woman”.

Political experts and commentators of both parties expressed shock at the snipe, with many on social media and cable news identifying it as one of the Republican nominee’s worst moments of the 90-minute meet-up in Las Vegas.

Trump and his gestures of disrespecting and ridiculing women continued even on the stage of the final debate. As many as nine women have billed up allegation against the Republican candidate that that he groped them or kissed them without their permission, to which he said, “Those stories have been largely debunked.”

From former Miss Universe Alicia Machado, who came out to tell the world how Trump humiliated and ridiculed her, to video tapes showing the billionaire-turned politician using profane language for women, Trump faces the possibility of a large gender gap against Clinton is unlikely to help him with women voters in swing states.

As soon as Trump’s crude remark was made, the Internet went crazy about his remark and he was slammed and trolled for his comment.
